i am lost again and confuse! i've been using mylot for like 4 days now. the first and second day of being a member here was ok. i saw that i was earning and i felt good... but today as i check my earnings for my 3rd day, there was nothing... it did not change... and i was posting and posting from discussions like what most people do here... and i made new discussions too... and then now, while i am typing this discussion, i lost one point from the 67 i had earlier and now it is only 66... what am i doing wrong here??? or is there something wrong with mylot? WHY IS IT LIKE THIS!!!???!!!

i have the correct answer for this question.., why it happend to you, you might not have properly read the DO'S AND DON'S OF MYLOT see what happens , it is clearly mentioned there DONT START DISCUSSION WHERE ANSWER IS YOE OR NO , and its my suggestion dont even participate in such discussins , in few time periods these discussions are removed by MYLOT so your responses are also deleted , so you loose your points and money too ... dont worry about that .. read mylot's dos and donts again and follow rules

as i can judge there are departments in mylot dealing in different section , i have seen money related department of mylot , there is another department which monitors the quality of discussion, and you might be knowing the money is given as per the quality of your post too, (there is specific algorithm for this work), i have lost 6 points and few cents , but its ok .. as i knew those yes i do , no i dont types discussions will not increase your rating and earning ... if my post gives you the complete answer of your question then please mark it as best ... LOL

The update is probably slower these few days, because it's payout day on December 15th. :) But they still credit to you the money ultimately. Anyway, about the post counters.. they do delete threads, and if you replied in those discussions, they get deleted too.. so yup.

Thank you very much. To day I got my answer. Actually I wasn’t understand the cause for deleting some my post. You are right when they delete some ones thread it automatically deletes my response also. It means I have to decide the quality of discussion to be responded.

does that really happen. Why does they want to do that...? May be because that catches unwanted notice.

the problem with mylot that they don't explain the rules by which they calculate your earning, you have to find it by urself..sometimes its so frustrating..specially when you do such a great effort to get referrals,and you get happier each time you find their number raises! but after sometime you find they only get few cents for tens of posts cuz they don't know what counts and what doesn't ..soon they get bored and stop!!

So please tell us what does count and what doesn't. I posted like 20 seemingly good posts today and only got 7 cents. I am stymied!

i too had the same problem with my ratings, but earnings. considering the traffic that myLot will have at a given time, there will be these kind of problems occuring. But it will be sorted out. Hence keep up your work.

i had 215 a day ago and just before this post i had 310 posts, but there is an increase in $.48 (for 95 posts), that means only $.005 per post, i responded to people to mylot and they say they get $.02-$.03 per post depending on quality, least being $.015, but i got only $.005, even when i responed in a better manner, can u tell me a reason for this? pls help me and tell what you people earn for a post?

Mylot has problems with glitches every once in a while. Either that or your number (which is you posts number) went down because someone's thread was deleted, and you had commented on it. I am sure you will notice that sometimes we arent "paid" at the same time every day, as it takes them a lot longer sometimes to get things going. You posted this topic about this time yesterday. I would imagine you have been updated by now right?

Don’t worry, every thing will be fine. Actually every one facing little bit trouble here due to some technical problems. I have also lost 9 points yesterday but I need not to worry because it will not effect in my earnings. I have tasted this so many times earlier.

You have to wait for a while before your earnings are updated.And try posting something nice and only for those discussions you think you can answer a lot. i think quality also matters in myLOT

I think you should wait at least for 18 hours and it wud increase your points.But I think it might be problem with my lot or your account.

It takes 24 hours to update the earnings on average. Right now it is saying one day ago was the last time. I would expect your earnings, as well as mine to move up within the next hour or so. I am interested to see what i have earned yesterday!

i check my earnings after 24 hours and it was the same... yesterday, as i was posting from some discussions,my points was not even moving up... i tried posting to 4 different discussions at that time but it just stayed to 67 and now it went to 66. (it is 68 now because i already started posting to some discussions.)

Something that I have noticed, is that when I have been starting posts and replying to them all day and way into the early morning, that I don't get an update til the very next 24 hour update period. I always figured that because I had been "working" so early into the morning that they weren't going to tally anything until the next update. It made sense to me and always made me feel better. But with the change in the new system of how one earns, I am not sure on it...I would just take it as they are having technical issues...and that makes me feel a little better. As far as losing a point, when Mylot first changed their way of "rating", they said that if you posted something that was not up to their standards then you will lose that one point for the post that you had made. Apparently not everyone thinks or feels the way that I do, but I hope that this helps make you feel better.

I haven't noticed this with my stats and money. I know that they recently fixed the algorithm so that if you're posting what they consider "garbage" then you won't get paid for it. I think they call "garbage" silly posts like where do you live, what's your favorite color and any one or two word responses. I know I've made sure to avoid these posts and make my own posts longer and I've been making more money. I hope you figure it out. Good luck!
